Hi,

Ummmm yeah, I have no idea what those look like, so I can't really say.

God bless...

Two sprocket like rollers that spread the chain wider so the pivot point is concentric with the chain.With that AMP setup chain doesnt affect suspension.Believe it or not the original founder of ATK invented the AMP link.

Hi,

Well, that actual style system will not work on the dale from what I can tell, but something like that could possibly be achieved by what I am doing.

THanks

Hi,

SO I had to many delays this week and ran out of time before I went to ride today, but I did test the new chain roller holder and it seems to work well. As it looks now, I think I can get 13.5" or 13.75" or so inches of travel once its all done!!! I was really really wanting that setup today at the track!

God bless...

Hi,

Ummm, so thank God it seems to work! I got the 17.5" PEP ZPS shock mounted on the back of the Dale. THe rear now has about 13.75" of rear travel and the chain does not hit the frame :-)
